Walmart....."NO......"
Always have seen a bunch of rigs parked (camping) at our local Walmart. Yesterday there was a crew putting up signs on all the light poles. "NO OVERNIGHT PARKING." Just thought it was interesting...

I don't know of a single public "rest stop" within 100 miles of where I live. The turn-offs have been torn up, the picnic tables long gone. So if you want to pull over and crash, it became Wallydocking and using private places.
My question is, with Wallydocking on the outs, where do people go to park if tired? If isn't just an issue of being "too cheap to use a CG." Where I live, there is not one single RV park within 100 miles that will not be completely booked for the next month, so "just use a RV park" is not going to happen.
Try this for starters: https://www.txdot.gov/driver/travel/rest-areas.html?CFC__target=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dot.state.tx.us%2Fapps-cg%2Fsafety_rest_areas%2Fsralocations.htm

As far as EVERY RV park being completely booked... that's a bit of exaggeration.
As we traveled constantly for 16 years we never had a problem finding a public place to stay (nice quiet ones... not WalMarts) or a campground to stay. You have to get off those interstates. There are plenty of little city or county parks or just roadside pull-offs.
